Liu Yuanjing was awarded the title of Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Chongxuanguan University Scholar, and Mr. Guangcheng, and his official position was Zheng Sanpin, while Pei Xiu's Hunan Observation Envoy was temporarily dispatched, Tanzhou was Shangzhou, and the assassin history was from the third grade, so the grade was lower than Liu Yuanjing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the positions of festival envoys and observation envoys were originally temporary assignments, without rank, and this habit has continued.

The grade of officials still depends on the official rank, just like the national cadre ranks such as deputy minister level and department and bureau level in later generations.

During the Wuzong Dynasty, Prime Minister Li Deyu was a disciple of Mr. Sun Zhiqing, the sixteenth grandmaster of the Shangqing faction, and his wife Liu also worshiped under the Maoshan Gate, thinking that Liu Yuanjing was just a side branch of the Shangqing Dynasty and did not attach much importance to it.

Pei Xiu belongs to the Niu Party, hates Li Deyu's dictatorship, and everyone he doesn't like is wholeheartedly accepted, and after coming to Hengshan, he is very close to Liu Yuanjing, Pei Xiu is older than Liu Yuanjing, and is called Mr. according to his title, and Liu Yuanjing directly commensurate Pei Xiu with the words.

When Wuzong was ordained, the Taoist priests in the world at that time respected Zhao Guizhen and Xuanyuan Ji, and the chief eunuch in the palace was dissatisfied, and he was unwilling to be presided over by the two of them to preside over the ceremony of the emperor's entry into the Tao, thinking that Liu Yuanjing could be the emperor's teacher, so he pushed him to the forefront.

From the point of view of the status of the Daomen itself, at that time, Nanyue had many famous masters, and it had become the authentic Shangqing Sutra in the world, and as the master of a generation of masters, Liu Yuanjing himself also had enough qualifications and prestige to take on this important responsibility.

Although Zhao Guizhen is also a Taoist priest in Hengshan, his teacher is unknown, only Liu Yuanjing knows that he is a disciple of the fire master Wang Zihua, and he is actually a generation higher than himself in terms of generation, but he has not been confined to his master, so his identity is a little embarrassing.

Fire master Wang Zihua is a famous Taoist in Nanyue, and also one of Sima Chengzhen's disciples, and was later regarded as the ancestor of the Taoist sect, and the Northern Song Dynasty Shenxiao sect respected him as an ancestor, called the thunder fire master Wang Zhenjun.

The Shenxiao faction is famous for the Shenxiao Thunder Method, which has a well-known name called the Five Thunder Method, the most famous of which is the Five Thunder Method.

Zhao Guizhen practiced the Five Thunder Divine Skills, which is also known as the Flying God Emperor and is famous at home.

He intersected with Xuanyuan Ji, Liu Yuanjing and others, and each of them was commensurate with his brother.

In the eyes of outsiders, Liu Yuanjing was prominent, and he was promoted by eunuchs and Pei Xiu and other high-ranking officials, so he finally won and became the "master of the master" of Wuzong.

At that time, in addition to Liu Yuanjing as the master of Wuzong's repertoire, there was another highly reputable Taoist master, the seventy-two-year-old "Magu Immortal Master" Deng Yankang served as the "supervisor" of this ceremony, and the two great virtues who conferred the urn on Wuzong can be described as a very momentary choice.

A Taoist monk needs to be led and presided over by the master of the degree, and carry out the ritual order such as the "three teachers of ceremony", and the master of the baoju will take off the vulgar clothes for the disciples, put on Taoist clothes, tie skirts, and crowns, etc., and only after being introduced by the master, the supervisor and the baoju master can they become Taoist priests.

The "Three Teachers of Rites" is an important part of Taoist rituals. The so-called three teachers are the degree teacher, the resident teacher and the scripture teacher, and there are two kinds of heavenly and earthly teachers.

The three masters in the sky, Taishang Laojun is the degree teacher, Xuhuang Daojun is the teacher, and Yuan Shi Tianzun is the scripture teacher.

The three teachers in the world, the teacher is called the master (teacher), the teacher of the teacher is called the master (ancestor), and the teacher of the teacher is called the scripture master (Taishizu).

Liu Yuanjing is the master of Wuzong's ordination ceremony, and is naturally his "master" (teacher).

Although Zhao Guizhen received Wang Zihua's Taoist inheritance, he did not receive it, so he was not nominally Wang Zihua's disciple.

And Liu Yuanjing's first master was not Tian Xuying, but Wang Daozong, who was under the power of the Zhengyi League, but he later received a three-hole magic urn and jumped from the Heavenly Master Dao to the Shangqing faction, so there are two degree masters, and Tian Xuying is much more famous, so Liu Yuanjing generally calls himself a disciple of the Tian family.

Pei Xiu saw that Liu Yuanjing didn't want to say much about the conferral of the new emperor, so he didn't continue to ask, and everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about official business, talk about Taoism, tell the hidden and interesting stories of the immortals, and staggered the plan, but also happy.

At this time, the guards reported that someone from the Hengzhou Thorn Mansion had come to ask to see him, and after obtaining permission, he led a small official to come in from outside.

The little official saluted and said: "The humble official is Xue Wang, the Confucius in the mansion of Han Taishou, and he sent a letter on the order of Taishou, please observe Pei and read it." ”

Pei Xiu took the letter and read it, and said to Xue Wang with a smile: "I won't write the reply, please Xue Qing reply to Han Tingshi, just say let him not bother, I will go to visit Qizhang Gong in two days, he just needs to wait in Tanzhou City." ”

When Xue Wang bowed and retreated, Pei Xiu stroked his long hair with one hand, shook the letter with the other, and said to Liu Yuanjing: "Han Ziyang is still so assertive in doing things, he won't come to see me if he is stopped by Qizhang Gong, I'm afraid that he will have another lazy attack!" ”

"He is a noble civil official, naturally he can't compare to Gongmei (Pei Xiuzi Gongmei) both civil and military, and he has been on the road for three days, and his spirit can be so good!" Liu Yuanjing is friends with Han Ye, the assassin of Hengzhou, and he also knows that this Han Taishou is lazy, and he is not willing to ride a horse so far on a hot day.

Everyone talked for a while, and then they returned to the Descending Palace together.

There are many trees in the view, and it is much cooler than outside.

All the Taoist priests of the Zhenzhen Palace vacated their rooms and let the guests stay temporarily.

Wang Jufang didn't stop, he came directly to Pei Xiu, and when he entered the door, he asked eagerly: "Does Pei Gong recognize that child?" ”

Pei Xiu shook his head and said: "There are many similar people in the world, Liu Yuanjing will not put people in front of us so easily, this matter is unreasonable, I am afraid that he is suspicious, otherwise why would a good child have a face full of patterns?" ”

Wang Jufang was a little deflated, and said: "What Pei Gong said is that I am too anxious, and these people who support the sect are not fuel-efficient lamps. ”

Pei Xiu said: "Fiction is real, and reality is virtual." Who can tell whether it is true or false, it is not conclusive at this time, Wang Jianjun and patiently sent his subordinates to investigate, and he can always see some clues. ”

Wang Jufang patted his thigh and said: "Yes, yes, why did you forget this, I sent someone to come and stay nearby, and I will call him over to ask after a while, and see what is abnormal about that kid recently!" ”

He got up and went out, while telling his attendants to go out and find someone.

Pei Xiu summoned the tooth general Shi Zaishun and ordered: "You let people stare at Wang Jufang, if there is any abnormal movement, come and report quickly." ”

Shi Zai complied and was about to go out, but was stopped by Pei Xiu: "If he wants to investigate, let him investigate, but if you want to rob people, stop it quickly." ”

After Shi Zaishun left, the young man next to Pei Xiu asked, "Uncle, why do you want to stop it?" ”

Pei Xiu smiled and said, "Che'er, why did the sage ask Mr. Liu to confer the ceremony?" ”

Pei Che thought for a while and replied, "Isn't it because of the support of education?" ”

Pei Xiu nodded and said: "Yes, the meaning of the sage is to recruit Mr. Liu, since Zhao Guizhen's death, Xuanyuan returned to Luofu Mountain, announced that he would return to seclusion and not ask about the world, and the Seven Truths of Fujiao would respect Mr. Liu, as long as he reconciled with the sage, then other people such as Tiantai Zuo Yuanze and others would not come out to make trouble, and the Guo family would lose foreign aid." ”

Pei Che said: "This is obviously cutting off the wings, the next step should be to do it to the Guo family generals in the forbidden army, and the queen mother will be moved last, if the Guo family is destroyed, Mr. Liu is not afraid of settling accounts after the autumn?" ”

That's why he put that kid on the bright side, just to bargain. There are priorities, and monitoring Wang Jufang just can't let him ruin the current plan for a child! ”

"Is this Taoist boy really Guo Jiaerlang?"

"Uncle, I never forget it, although there are many patterns on his face, but there is no doubt that he is this person!"
